The method helps identifying the sources of funds, how the funds are channelled to providers, and for what functions the funds are used. NHA is of specif c interest for developing countries since these countries often face a consid- erable burden of disease and shortage of resources. This paper gives a presentation of the process of the Mali NHA. Over the years there have been a few attempts to provide a comprehensive picture of the f ow of funds within the Malian health sector. The f rst tentative NHA was developed in the 1980s and the second attempt, covering the years 1988-1991, was published in 1993. In 2002, a NHA feasibility study was conducted in Mali but no accounts were elaborated at that time. The structure of the health system in Mali has changed con- siderably since then. A private sector has emerged and an increased number of providers are now providing health care services. In 2005, the f rst NHA study conducted according to international comparable methodology was initiated in Mali. A national research insti- tute for public health is technically responsible for the current study. The data collection will be f nalised before the end of year 2005 and a dis- semination of results is scheduled for the f rst half of year 2006. There are some challenges ahead for the NHA process in Mali. The f rst challenge is for the stakeholders in the health sector to interpret and actually use the results of the f rst round. The second challenge, connected to the f rst one, is the important issue of institutionalising the NHA process. In order to facilitate the institutionalisation process, Mali is in need of support. For example, to be able to attend training workshops and participate in network activities f nancial support is needed. It is a strength for the institutionalisation process that Mali has former experi- ences and possesses local expertise in the production of NHA. The fact that the next demographic and health survey (DHS) in Mali will include a household health expenditure component will certainly have a positive effect in facilitating future NHA studies and the institutionalisation process. Further, the steering committee of the current study plays, and will play, a key role in assuring the institutionalisation in Mali. It will thus be of great interest to follow the development of the Malian health sector and see how the results from the NHA will be received by the steering committee and how the results will actually inf uence the policy making within the country. 3 Abbreviations AIDS Acquired Immunodef ciency Syndrome CNS Comptes Nationaux de la Santé National Health Accounts (NHA) CPS Cellule de la Planif cation et de Statistique Planning and statistical unit CSC Centre de Santé de Cercle CSCOM Centre de Santé Communautaire EDSM Enquête Demographique et de Santé au Mali Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) EU European Union FA Francophone Africa FCFA Franc Communauté Financière Africaine HIV Human Immunodef ciency Virus IHE The Swedish Institute for Health Economics INRSP Institut National de Recherche en Santé Publique MoH Ministry of Health NGO Nongovernmental Organisation NHA National Health Accounts PDDSS Plan Décennal de Développement Sanitaire et Social PHRplus Partners for Health Reformplus PRODESS Programme de Développement Sanitaire et Social Sida Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency SWAp Sector Wide Approach UNICEF United Nations Children Fund USAID United States Agency for International Development WB World Bank WHO World Health Organization 4 1. Background Many developing countries face a considerable burden of disease togeth- er with a shortage of resources. These countries need to improve their health systems and the use of resources to better meet the necessities of the population. Improving health systems and making appropriate allocation decisions require reliable and current data on f nancing as well as complementary non-f nancial information. One internationally recognised tool intended to give a full picture of the expenditures on health is National Health Accounts (NHA). NHA provides information of the f ow of funds within the health sector. It identif es the sources of funds, how the funds are channelled to the providers, and for what functions the funds are used. Currently, about 80 countries around the world have produced NHA at least once and approximately 60 of them are low- and middle-income countries. In January 2003, the concept of NHA was formally launched in Central and West Africa at a meeting in Dakar, Senegal. At that meet- ing, the Francophone West and Central African Regional NHA Network (FA) was established in order to facilitate the exchange of information and experiences between the countries. The FA network includes around 25 countries.1 In October 2003, a f rst regional NHA technical training workshop was held in Dakar where 12 countries, including Mali, were represented.2 In Mali, there was an early interest in exploring the f nanc- ing of the health sector, i.e. in the late 1980’s the f rst tentative NHA was elaborated. After a second attempt in the beginning of 1990’s the f rst NHA produced according to international comparable methodology was commenced in 2005. In January-February 2004 the Swedish Institute for Health Economics (IHE) conducted a study on the status of NHA and the use of health expenditure data in Mali (Glenngård and Hjalte, 2004). The current report is a follow-up of the study from 2004. 1.1. Objectives and Method This paper mainly focuses on the ongoing NHA process in Mali. The objective of the paper is to present the procedure, the objectives and the expectations with NHA in Mali. First, a presentation of the current 1 The FA countries include Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Congo, Madagascar, Mali, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Togo, Algeria, Burundi, Central African Republic, Comoros, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania, São Tomé and Principe and Seychelles. 2 The other participating countries were Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Chad, Congo, Madagascar, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal and Togo. 5 situation of the Malian health sector is given. Secondly, a brief overview of the NHA process in the country is presented. This is followed by a description of the characteristics of the current NHA round, the objec- tives and the expectations. The paper is ended by a discussion and some concluding remarks. The study is based on interviews conducted with different stakehold- ers in the Malian health sector. The interviews were semi structured and took place in Bamako in November 2005. Respondents were selected based on the identif cation of respondents for the study in 2004 and according to their current managing position in the health sector and/or their involvement in the Malian NHA process. The respondents included representatives from the Ministry of Health (MoH), national research institute in public health, WHO, Sida, USAID, and Netherlands. 6 2.

  • Mali's Community Health Workers
    Mali’s Community Health Workers Access to a health worker is something that we all take for granted. But if you live in Mali, where there are just 0.8 doctors for every 10,000 people, the chances are that you may not get to see one in your lifetime. Community health workers are changing that. A community health worker (CHW) is trained to provide the most essential life saving interventions—such as emergency front line care— and can save children’s lives from many if not most of the major preventable child mortality causes like diarrhoea, pneumonia and malaria. CHWs also equip families with the knowledge and skills to prevent disease. They promote good nutrition, sanitation, and hygiene, and link families to essential services. WHY COMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS? World Vision in Mali How a child is cared for in their own home has a profound impact on their ability World Vision reaches almost two to survive and thrive during their first few days, months and years of life.

  • The Decline in Child Mortality: a Reappraisal Omar B
    Theme Papers The decline in child mortality: a reappraisal Omar B. Ahmad,1 Alan D. Lopez,2 & Mie Inoue3 The present paper examines, describes and documents country-specific trends in under-five mortality rates (i.e., mortality among children under five years of age) in the 1990s. Our analysis updates previous studies by UNICEF, the World Bank and the United Nations. It identifies countries and WHO regions where sustained improvement has occurred and those where setbacks are evident. A consistent series of estimates of under-five mortality rate is provided and an indication is given of historical trends during the period 1950–2000 for both developed and developing countries. It is estimated that 10.5 million children aged 0–4 years died in 1999, about 2.2 million or 17.5% fewer than a decade earlier. On average about 15% of newborn children in Africa are expected to die before reaching their fifth birthday. The corresponding figures for many other parts of the developing world are in the range 3–8% and that for Europe is under 2%. During the 1990s the decline in child mortality decelerated in all the WHO regions except the Western Pacific but there is no widespread evidence of rising child mortality rates. At the country level there are exceptions in southern Africa where the prevalence of HIV is extremely high and in Asia where a few countries are beset by economic difficulties. The slowdown in the rate of decline is of particular concern in Africa and South-East Asia because it is occurring at relatively high levels of mortality, and in countries experiencing severe economic dislocation.

See the published version at https://doi.org/10.1080/17441692.2020.1855459. Page 1/18 Abstract Background: Universal health coverage (UHC) is now high up the international agenda. There are still major needs to be met in West Africa, particularly in Mali, where providing health care for the poorest remains a big challenge. The majority of the region’s countries are currently seeking to dene the content of their compulsory, contribution-based medical insurance system. However, very few countries apart from Mali have decided to, in parallel, develop a solution for poorest that is not based on contributions. Methods: This qualitative research article examines the historical process that has permitted the emergence of this ground-breaking public policy. Results: The research shows that the process has been very long, chaotic and sometimes suspended for long periods. One of the biggest challenges has been that of intersectoriality and the social construction of the groups to be targeted by this public policy (the poorest), as institutional tensions have evolved in accordance with the political issues linked to social protection.

  • Strategic Plan 2017-2021 LETTER from MALI HEALTH
    Strategic Plan 2017-2021 LETTER FROM MALI HEALTH For ten years, Mali Health has collaborated with peri-urban communities in Bamako to develop and implement local solutions to help mothers and children access basic healthcare. Working with women, communities, community health centers, and the health system, we have learned a great deal about how to support our partners as they respond to some of the most difficult maternal and child health challenges remaining in the world. Today, we are as committed as ever to solutions that are community-based and that work within Mali’s health system. Going forward, we will emphasize engaging communities and their resources in greater depth - finding ways to help local stakeholders replicate and sustain the results we’ve achieved together for THE CHALLENGE AND OUR APPROACH the past decade. Maternal, infant and child mortality rates in Mali are some of the highest The plan that follows is our roadmap to our next five years: in the world because women and children cannot access basic healthcare. Mali’s health system is decentralized, which means that the responsibility to provide life-saving healthcare does not lie with the government, it lies with communities. Communities often do not have the resources and Our programs are strong and we will maintain them at the highest level. While we continue to experience they need to provide basic care to mothers and children, which provide access to high-quality care to thousands of mothers and children, we will investigate new is a primary reason for their poor health outcomes. opportunities to extend our impact.
